    when they say dish soap, they mean Dawn Dish Soap... It's gentle enough to not screw up your finish. The purpose of starting with Dawn, is to strip the old wax off the car... Car wash soap will not strip the wax off the car. Also, they don't mean to do this everytime you wash the car... Only when you are starting fresh... Because after you start fresh, you can wash the car with car wash soap, which won't strip the old wax/zaino... Then new coats of zaino will just add to the previous coats...

    exactly, I always start the year with dish soap (duponts paint reps suggested it when I went to their paint school)

    Yup, thats the more detailed version, and what almost all do when starting fresh each year. I just add the Zaino to the old Zaino unless there is some needed work before hand, like buffing or what not.
